Pros

Company provides: -Salary is $42,000 -Car gas is $150/week -Cell phone is $55/month -Overall, you make $50,000/ year with all combined after your sales certification is complete (about 6 weeks).

Cons

Tricky to close a prospect once you have an interested client because more than half of business that have a need for a uniform program already have a uniform program, so before you can sell the service, you have to get them out of their current one...

Pros

Upper management genuinely cares about their team, and the hiring process is simple and straightforward. Base pay and the monthly stipend are both fair, and I appreciate the company's structure — questions get answered quickly, and you have dedicated team member support. I also like that the role is self-managing, with CDR handling pricing and deal structuring so you can focus on your own performance. Overall, this company really takes care of its employees.

Cons

The pay structure for this role is a bit unique — after a sale closes, the CDR earns commission for the first few months, and then commission transitions over to the drive team. It's certainly not a deal-breaker, just an observation, and I'm not knocking the company for it. All in all, I had a wonderful experience at UniFirst.
